Little Kotlin Multiplatform Treasures

on YouTube ↗42m

" summary

Builds Kotlin/Native binaries for macOS, Linux, Windows, JS and iOS, then inspects them with file, otool/objdump and strings to find embedded UTF‑8 data and a hidden "treasure found" string via Ghidra reverse‑engineering, showing decompiled C and renaming symbols. Packs a Linux binary into Docker and shrinks it to a 4.6 MB Docker image by copying only needed shared libs. Publishes multi‑module MPP artifacts to local Maven/Artifactory, creates an XCFramework and package.swift (with checksum) for distribution, and demonstrates per‑target test tasks to speed iteration.
